I am a 2009 graduate of St. Mary's College of Maryland and currently reside in Southern Maryland with my husband, Nick and our children Maxine and Peter.

I began photographing after I left my job with a government contractor in 2012. My husband and I thought we were leaving the area and we ended up staying put in St. Mary's County. I come from an artistic background with my mother (Carolyn Egeli) and a majority of my family have made their livelihoods through their talents in the arts. The camera has always interested me, ever since I used to change the film for my mom during her portrait sessions. I eventually found myself behind my own camera at the encouragement of my husband.
